Book excerpt: Join Henry Hudson and his crew on board their tiny ship, the Half Moon, as they endure the ice fields in the Barent Sea and great storms of the mighty Atlantic Ocean; admire Hudson's ingenious responses to mutineers; wonder why as they do strange things like attacking and being attacked by Natives; feel their disappointments as time and again they must turn back from their goal, the elusive northern passage to wealth and fame. Sail up the mighty Hudson River with them almost to its headwaters. Experience their frustrations from running aground as they enter the Delaware Bay then anchor near the tip of Cape May, NJ. In the summer of 1609, Hudson and his ship the Half Moon, sailing under the Dutch flag, explored the east coast of North America from present day Maine all the way south to Roanoke Island, NC, searching for a passage to the Orient. Robert Juet, Hudson's clerk or ship's mate kept a detailed log of the journey. His entries include the weather, sea state, descriptions of the lands around them and the natives of those lands. He produced the finest first person account of an exciting early historical voyage. Unfortunately for us, he wrote his journal using the archaic English of his time, and he used antiquated navigational tools. Consequently, only serious researchers can read his journal. You can read the original at http://www.halfmoonreplica.org/Juets-journal.pdf In 2009, Cape May, NJ commemorated the 400th anniversary of Hudson's visit to the area with a year long celebration including a parade, a King and Queen, lectures, a grand ball, and dignitaries from Horn, Holland. As part of the celebration, the 400th Anniversary Committee asked me to use my knowledge of the sea (8 � years at sea with the US Navy destroyer service), my interest in history, and my writing skills to translate and explain Juet's Journal for the average reader. My translation of the Journal is in script preceded by my explanations and notes for each installment. The local newspaper, the weekly Star and Wave, ran it as a column throughout most of the year. It became an immediate hit! People stopped me on the street asking what is going to happen next? Will the Natives massacre them? Will the next storm swamp their little ship? Each chapter in this book is an installment from the paper.Enjoy this exciting leisurely adventure back into time with Henry Hudson, Robert Juet, and John Bailey. The year is 1609. Ready your sea legs. Haul in that bow line and cast off!John Bailey lives in Cape May, NJ.

Download or read book Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York written by Evan T. Pritchard and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year was 1609, and British explorer Henry Hudson had landed in North America at the bidding of the Dutch East India Company. But Hudson was not the first man to set foot on Manhattan Island. Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York chronicles this historic "discovery" with a hereto unknown perspective—that of the people who met Hudson's boat on their shore. Using all available sources, including oral history passed down to today's Algonquins, Evan Pritchard tells a colonization story through several lenses: from Hudson himself, as well as his bodyguard, scribe, and personal Judas, Robert Juet; to the Eastern Algonquin people, who saw his boat as a floating waterfowl, and his arrival as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.
